The subject of the presentation is the explanation of the various Kabbalistic allusions of the IVth degree AASR (Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite), Secret Master.
We will demonstrate that the redactor(s) of the corresponding ceremony had at least basic knowledge of the Jewish Kabbalah, possibly originating from the writing of Christian Kabbalists, but that they had also a fair understanding of ancient Christian authors.
Reminder: AASR creation – the Morin Rite of Perfection.
Most of the original AASR ceremonies come directly from France, even if the final structure of the AASR was set up in Charleston (USA). On August 27, 1761, the Grand Lodge of France gave a charter to the businessman Etienne Morin to establish lodges in the New World. Morin took with him the rituals of 25 degrees and called the whole set of ceremonies “Order of the Royal Secret”, which, later, was at times denominated as Rite of Perfection (an expression that we will use in this presentation).
